“We are de­lighted that key roles have been opened up to peo­ple from across the Com­mon­wealth who are non­res­i­dent in the UK,” said Gen­eral Chris Tick­ell, Gen­eral Of­fi­cer Com­mand­ing, Army Recruiting and Train­ing Di­vi­sion.

“The ser­vice given by sol­diers from Com­mon­wealth coun­tries helps the Armed Forces to de­fend the UK at home and abroad, and we look for­ward to wel­com­ing more Com­mon­wealth re­cruits fol­low­ing the in­tro­duc­tion of the new reg­u­la­tions.”

The Bri­tish army is look­ing for can­di­dates who are phys­i­cally fit, can com­mu­ni­cate well in both writ­ten and spo­ken English and can self-fund travel to the UK to at­tend one of its de­vel­op­ment and se­lec­tion cen­tres.
